    I couldn't find anything to watch after careful consideration of the Radio Times:(. I love J Creek but its a repeat :mad: and it wasn't a very good story from what I remember so have switched to Alice on sky movies instead :D

    I'm watching Channel 4, they have a "NYE commedian gala", they must have recorded it a while ago as Jason Manford was making jokes about Twitter...

    Hubby and Son are now watching a DVD = There Will Be Blood.
    I see quite a few comments are about playing X Boxes. Maybe the BBC secretly have shares in Microsoft and it is their ploy to make more money.;)
    We have had the X box on most of the afternoon as it was preferable to the Sound of Music:eek:

    If you have Sky you can watch BBC channels from around the UK but as the xBox is on I can't tell you what the channel numbers are. We would switch to BBC London to listen to decent commentary for the footy.

    I'm watching a lovely programme showing polar bears in the wild.

    Aye, I watched that too.

    Now watching the Gerrad Kelly tribute, then Only An Excuse, then see in the Bells with Jackie.

    Hogmanay is no the same without Scotch and Wry. :(

    Scotch and Wry is a big miss.

    I'll be watching Stephen and Michelle on STV at midnight.
